It’s not my body that’s tired… it’s my mind.
I’m not exhausted from running around all day. I’m exhausted from thinking, feeling, caring, anticipating, preventing, and holding it all together before it falls apart. My brain has 47 conversations going at once, 12 playlists running, and 1,000 imaginary scenarios playing out at all times.
It’s not the doing, it’s the carrying.
The worries I never say out loud.
The mental checklists that never end.
The invisible battles no one notices.
This isn’t physical tired.
This is soul tired.
